The Grave Itself a Garden Is
VERSE 1
The
grave itself a garden is,
Where
loveliest flowers abound;
Since
Christ, our never fading Life,
Sprang
from that holy ground.
VERSE 2
O give
us grace to die to sin,
That we,
O Lord, may have
So holy,
happy rest in Thee,
A
Sabbath in the grave.
VERSE 3
Thou,
Lord, baptized in Thine own blood,
And
buried in the grave,
Didst
raise Thyself to endless life,
Omnipotent
to save.
VERSE 4
Baptized
into Thy death we died,
And
buried were with Thee,
That we
might fly with Thee to God,
And ever
blest might be.
VERSE 5
Lord,
through the grave and gate of death
May we,
with Thee, arise
To an
eternal Easter day
Of glory
in the skies!
